Emerson Network Power Announces New Thermal Management Business

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and the global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure
, today announced the creation of a new
Thermal Management business to expand its ability to develop and deliver more holistic, next-generation approaches to controlling the data center environment.

The expanded focus reflects the evolution of data center environmental guidelines from organizations such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the introduction of emerging technologies to meet those guidelines. John Schneider will lead the new Thermal Management business as vice president and general manager.

“The data center is an active, always-changing ecosystem where IT needs, geographic location and external weather conditions are connected, and changes in any one area have broad-reaching implications,” Schneider said. “We are delivering the next generation of data center cooling, with innovative services, software and hardware integrated and optimized to reliably, efficiently and cost-effectively control and manage heat.”

The business, with annual revenues of approximately $800 million, includes Emerson Network Power’s existing Liebert precision cooling assets and expertise.

The Thermal Management business offers technologies and solutions for data centers and IT facilities of all sizes including air, waterside and innovative pumped-refrigerant economizers in addition to state-of-the-art controls and wireless sensors to maximize efficiency. Included in the solutions are custom
air-handling solutions with chilled water, direct and indirect evaporative, and refrigerant technologies. These technologies enable Emerson to best meet customer needs and evolving industry standards that expand the range of acceptable data center temperatures.

Additionally, today’s data center infrastructure systems use networks of wireline and wireless sensors to monitor equipment use, performance and environmental conditions and are better equipped to act on that data. These capabilities were not available in the past and, even today, the additional intelligence often is lost in floods of data. “What we’re doing with our approach to thermal management is helping our customers analyze, understand and act on that data to realize more efficient, more sophisticated real-time environmental control,” Schneider said.
